Echinofossulocactus
6 to 8 cm
Native to the center of Mexico, almost all Echinofossulocactus are characterized by wavy coast ribs, giving them an odd look. The species we provide has a little dense thorny system, enabling to appreciate its structure. As a young plant, it is cylindrical, and then becomes spherical, while producing more and more strong central prickles. The flowers measure about 3 cm in diameter. The petals are white, with a mallow central band.
We deliver all cacti with their roots contained in a mini clod. They are to repot using the provided compost and pot.
